Lined up for 10 mins. It was delicious but for me the chocolate babka was too sweet! The cinnamon roll was just okay.
You can get the babka at Bryant Park as well
Nothing is bad here! The most important thing, as names, breads are fantastic here, and my fav thing here is oatmeal bread. They are getting new pastries every once in a while. The new strawberry tartlet was wonderful. The place is spacious, a lot of seating in the back for lunch, right in front of the kitchen where they make breads. Love here!
This is my work lunch spot! The sandwiches, the bread, the salads and even their iced teas are so fresh. My happy place.
Love all the pastries and breads here, don't miss tomato season specials!
I try to stop by Breads every time I'm in the Union Square area. If you love being greeted by a whiff of delicious, buttery, freshly baked pastries, this spot is for you. I haven't had a bad thing from here and still have so many things to try. The babka is always a safe option but I usually go for the Rugelach if I'm by myself and want a smaller bite of something.
There's also a seating area in the back that's great if you want a quick place to rest your legs from walking.
Love this spot!
After reading a NY Times article and the bakery was recommended for Passover during my Sedar dinner, I knew I had to try it. The Matzah Brie is phenomenal! They had two flavors that day, artichoke and spinach and mushroom and herbs. I tried both, and they were both great! There were also a bunch of Passover cookies and even has of Haroset! If you want something delicious during Passover, this is a great and delightful bet!
Great lil place with delicious pastries. My favorite is the croissant with almonds. I also love the butter pecan cookies. The cookies melt in your mouth. I'm obsessed.
everything I tried tasted amazing, went and placed a second order and ate till I could no longer eat
My office ordered from here for catering for an event, and it was amazing! This was during the torrential downpour from Tropical Storm Ophelia, so of course our order was delayed (lots of flooding), but everyone at Breads Bakery was incredibly communicative with us, giving us updates frequently. And when the food arrived, it was absolutely amazing. I especially recommend the croissant sandwiches with brie and olives--truly delicious. Thank you, Breads, for keeping our event going with lots of coffee and tasty food, despite the rain!
Today was the first time I ate babka, and I now love eating babka. I ate one entire babka on my own today. I look forward to eating another one soon.
Highly recommend to folks the chocolate babka.
Breads Bakery's chocolate babka was absolutely amazing when I took my first bite, accompanied by a sip of milk. It had a delightful blend of sweetness and nuttiness. I visited the bakery around 1:30 p.m. on Monday, and to my delight, there was still an ample amount of chocolate babka available. It was priced at $16.95 for one and $30 for two. I'm eager to return to the bakery and explore other flavors.
I got a croissant and the flavor was great but wasn't crispy, also was a really humid day. the price was ok for NYC $4.45. The service was ok.
The chocolate babka is amazing. It is really good hot or cold. I had a friend send some over and it shipped fairly well on a plane.
My frequent stop when around the area for both sweet and savory snacks. Today we tried the sandwiches too which were tasty. Especially like the eggplant and tomato one which has hummus in the sandwich. We also had the Jerusalem baguette that we'll definitely get again. It has a great bite and tons of sesame. The swiss muesli bun is also great which I had for breakfast the next day. The employees there are always super friendly and helpful. My husband can't have refined sugar and the employees could look up ingredients in the computer to clarify which options are safe for him to eat.
Oh my, what a great bakery. Sweets, croissants, breads, and cakes are all on point. Texture, sweetness, and flavor are extremely well done. There is no hint of stale even at 5 pm on a weekday.
They location is very good, and the seating and size inside are good, spacious, not smelly, not NY cramped. Clean WC is the back.
Very friendly and helpful workers, patient, willing to talk about the goods.
Definitely not cheap! 9$ for a load of bread, 6$ for a croissant. But this is NYC; bring lots of 💰and you'll be fine.
I love everything from this place and have gifted the babka to many friends who all loved it too. Even when I moved away from the city I ordered it to be shipped to me. I will say that the recipe seems to have changed a bit. It feels smaller and dryer than it once was. Still pretty good though.
Their spinach feta pastry and Jerusalem baguettes are also especially fantastic.
Wonder bread
This wonderful bready spread isn’t your average plain white wonder bread though. @breadsbakery makes insanely delicious pastries and bread, sweet or savory. For a @grabbdapp collab, they gave me a tour through the bakery, some treats to try in store, and an entire tote bag of goodies to go! It was a really cool experience! Be sure to grab them on the Grabbd app!
Pictured: Delicious chocolate babka (Jewish bready, twisted, cake), sweet life gives you lemons cake, sugary cinnamon roll, perfect cheese danish, yummy chocolate rugelach (Jewish flakey, rolled pastry), the cute tote bag, palmier (I called them ‘elephant ears’ growing up), sourdough loaf. Everything was so good!
Cheesy puns make me gooey on the inside

Love Breads Bakery! The bread is so fresh and tasty, and they have so many different options to try. Our only complaint is that it's a bit expensive (for example, ~$5 for a chocolate croissant), but I think the quality reflects the price.
